Meet Dr. Alexia Tsakiris
Veterinary Consultant / Clinical Herbal & Nutraceutical Formulation / Business Strategist for Natural Animal Care
I'm a practicing veterinarian who also formulates herbal and nutraceutical products — and that combination is the core of what I offer. I see patients and clients every week, which means I'm not theorizing about what pet owners and practices want; I'm hearing it directly, in exam rooms, in real time.
That clinical grounding is paired with formal herbal education and hands-on formulation experience across both botanical and nutraceutical ingredients. I developed Early Bird Parasite Solutions, an herbal anti-parasitic formula, from concept through to a finished product. I've also contributed to an oral health formulation built around peptides, postbiotics, herbs and antioxidants — work that reflects where the field is heading: multi-modal formulas that draw on both traditional herbal knowledge and newer functional ingredients like peptides and postbiotics.
This dual perspective — full-time clinician and formulator — is what sets me apart. I know what claims resonate with skeptical veterinarians, what clients actually ask for at the counter, and where the gaps are between "sounds good in theory" and "works in practice."
Through Asklepis Veterinary Consulting, I help animal health companies and fellow practices with:
Herbal and nutraceutical formulation development and evaluation, grounded in clinical relevance
Messaging and education strategy that speaks credibly to veterinary audiences, including for newer ingredient categories like peptides and postbiotics
Connecting companies and practices with clinicians (myself and my network) for small-scale clinical trial participation
Because I'm still in practice, I also stay connected to a network of clients and colleagues at other clinics — a built-in bridge for sales conversations, product feedback, and trial recruitment that most consultants without a practice can't offer.
Let's connect if you're developing an herbal, nutraceutical, or functional-ingredient product and want a clinician's eye on it — from formulation through to the clients who'll actually use it.
